Variable cursor in prototypes

Currently, in prototype the cursor appears to be either ‘pointer’ (for everything) or ‘hand’ (if a click interaction set up on an element). I would like to be able to change this to a text cursor, when hovering over an input field in my proto. Affordance is a very important part of UI so surprised theres no way to do this? Of course can hack it by adding an image of a cursor, but then you end up having that plus the actual cursor on screen & it makes things worse. Should be an easy feature to add and would be very much appreciated!

Looking forward to this! Sensible defaults would be great when you add an interaction.

would ideal, for example… if you create a disabled button, you can change the cursor to forbidden símbol 🙂

It would also be helpful for making entire components targets to indicate that you can select something without producing a hover state.

+1 - would really love this feature, to properly mimic browser behavior - ie. when hovering disabled buttons.

+1 This would be a really nice-to-have feature! Even adding the disabled cursor for “disabled” elements would be fantastic.
